The switch can be managed through the operational network, known as in-band
management. Because in-band management traffic is mixed in with operational
network traffic, it is subject to all of the filtering rules usually applied to a standard
network ports such as ACLs and VLAN tagging. In-band network management can
be accessed via a connection to any network port (1-28/52).
You must establish IP address information for a stand-alone switch or a stack to
obtain management access through the network. This can be done in either of the
following ways:
◆
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet
mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the switch,
you will also need to specify the default gateway router. To configure this
device as the default gateway, use the
◆
Dynamic — The switch can send IPv4 configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network, or automatically generate a
unique IPv6 host address based on the local subnet address prefix received in
router advertisement messages. An IPv6 link local address for use in a local
network can also be dynamically generated as described in
Address" on page 77.
This switch is designed as a router, and therefore does not support DHCP for
IPv6, so an IPv6 global unicast address for use in a network containing more
than one subnet can only be manually configured as described in
IPv6 Address" on page
Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a
default gateway that resides between this device and management stations that
exist on another network segment. Valid IPv4 addresses consist of four decimal
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Note: The IPv4 address for VLAN 1 is obtained via DHCP by default.
